Hmm....that's a tough one to sum up as it DOES vary -

BUT:

(on an average)

If i round it off, divide it by the circumference - subtract the radius and then multiply it by Pi, add 'x' and subtract the square root of 'z' - divide that by my mothers age and multiply by 'Y' - if Y equalled 4.

Hmmmm.... Then i would have to say that I play for approximately - 30-35 hours a week.


Just trying to get an indication of the people on our servers 'committment' to the game.


Holla back,

I would say I probably play around 50 hrs a week. Just depends on what is going on. I party with a few ppl I set with Mon-Fri from 7pm eastern time till about 12-1am. Sundays are Dynamis runs (usually about 4hrs)and saturdays are for helping ppl or big HNM for me, so it could be about 12+hrs on Saturday sometimes.
wow, looking at all of that makes me think I really play this a wee bit to much >.> meh..I have fun^^

right now 0 cus My ps2 is in cali and mt pc monitor is in tx (grrrr got a new flatscreen and it wont power off my pc) so here I am using my Mums laptop while I wait for the military housing Gods to give me housing >.< wait list is 2 months and day 1 wasy Feb 10th even though we arrived on the 6th.
Normally, I wakeup make hubby breakfast & lunch, clean, shower, workout, play *eat lunch at sametime* play, take break to make & eat dinner & play. So yeah 50 hours is possible maybe more or less just depends on doing stuff with hubby. It may end up being less once we get housing because I love watersports and theres a beach on the base.
I also write reviews & stories for an adult-horror-rock-magazine. Real work wise(as if writing isn't real work!Hmpf)...lol I may be babysitting Juggs (Ragnarok rdm19 war24 blm14 thf17) daughter Evelynrose (shes 5 and hooked on /fishing)
My husband rarely plays, he doesnt like how much planning is needed for the game (he's a halo junkie) He likes to just go kill stuff which is why his monk is lvl 24.

I shudder to think how many hours I'd play if I didn't have a live-in GF of 7 years that totally limits my play time. She doesn't play, and hasn't ever played (doesn't want to) - and she's the type of girl that gets pissed if she finds me still playing all through the night and i'm still on at 6 in the morning. Oh well. Keeps it balanced for me i guess.

Funny to see this thread...

Yesterday, I was bored while farming and looked at my game time 74 days! I was like 0_0 OMG thats 10 weeks -_-*

I felt so cheated, been playing this since the PS2 release.

M-Th avg 4-5 hours

Weekends, lets just say more than I should.


P.S. My GF bought me this game so I would "go out" anymore...

Damn I think she got me this time ><

My playtime is like 75 days or so, mostly im afk or on the phone, so that's really not a good indicator.
Usually I'm on from 9am -5pm or inbetween classes. so maybe about..40 hours a week?

Wow... thinking about how long I've been playing makes me want to cry. I have about 80 days logged into the game, not including AFK bazaars, and I've been playing for almost 11 months. That averages out to about 6 hours a day or 40-odd hours per week. I'm sad. ; ;

I think if it weren't for the people this game wouldn't be so addictive.

Wait a minute you gave me an idea...

Instead of getting married in RL. We can get married in the game...

/em ducks from the left hook
evasion skill raises .03

er wait a minute does that mean my moogle will spy on me now?

On a side note I wonder how many relationships have been lost over this game.

Yeah, that must be [GM]Xenger by now, lol. When I'm not grounded and school is going on, I play from about 3pm (dang traffic) to 10pm EST, 'bout 7 hours a day on weekdays, 8am to 10pm EST on Sunday, 14 hours then, and 8am to 2am on Saturdays... 18 hours... time for my calculator >_>

5*7= 35

35+14+18= 67

Oi... that's about an average of 55-60 hours a week in school weeks. Vacation weeks are like saturdays, so about 18 hours a day for 7 days for a total of 126 hours a week. This one is very sad, that I am ~_~

I'm not sure, most people I know, that play ffxi are rl couples (SGtlilpuppet & Zeena, Preciousangel & TKdtiger, Strahl & Tif,Scathach finally got his wife to play and now shes addicted after spending half a year berating him about the game and shes better at it then him lol)
Games like these do take a certain amount of intelligence, it isn't just point and shoot - seriously this game is chock full of puzzles and other mental challenges.
I think it is possible to have a healthy relationship and be an ffxi junkie.
